What Does Counseling Use Challenging For?
Counseling uses challenge to highlight inconsistencies and conflicts in the client’s process. The client may be willing to engage in therapeutic exploration when the therapist gently confronts or challenges them. Depending on the counselor’s theoretical orientation, confrontation may be used to establish a closer bond with the client, direct the client to focus on a particular task, or even focus on working together to solve a problem (Strong and Zeman, 2010). THERE ARE FIVE TYPES OF CONFRONTATION: ACCOMODATING, AVOIDING, COLLABORATING, COMPETING, AND COMPROMISING. This is based on the Conflict Mode Instrument by Ralph Kilmann. Different approaches to conflict resolution can be beneficial for various conflict types, such as task conflict, relationship conflict, and value conflict. It occasionally seems as though certain forms of conflict are always present in the workplace.
